Kathy Ireland she still looks good in a bikini as she nears 50

She’s no stranger to bikinis, having featured in the Sports Illustrated magazine 13 years in a row.

And even as she nears 50, Kathy Ireland can still carry off the most unforgiving of beach outfits.

The former model showed off her body on the beach in Hawaii yesterday.

Relaxing, Ireland is now a successful businesswoman, making more than 45,000 products a year

In a hot pink two-piece, teamed with a pair of black shorts, Ireland appeared unselfconscious as she supervised her children as they attempted to paddleboard.

And while the 48-year-old’s figure may no longer be that of a teenager, it certainly shows the benefits of regular exercise.

For 13 years Ireland featured in the Sports Illustrated magazine, appearing on the cover three times.

Time off! After a career as an actress, Ireland moved on to fulfill her literary ambitions and has published six books, three of which are for children

This week it was announced she had expanded into wedding dresses.

The company, which designs and produces more than 45,000 products, including linens and cribs, will produce a collection of more than 1,000 dress designs.

Blake Lively looks stressed as she talks on her mobile phone with Leo DiCaprio in Venice

She’s in one of the most romantic cities in the world with her rumoured new boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio.


But Blake Lively looked less than happy as she chatted on her mobile phone as she rode in a water taxi in Venice.


Perhaps the Gossip Girl star was discussing nude photos - purporting to be of the actress - which appeared on the internet this week.

Angst-ridden, Blake Lively looks stressed as she talks on her mobile phone while riding a water taxi in Venice

As the strained actress, Blake Lively talks on her phone, her rumoured new boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio looked happy to chat to the driver

The 23-year-old blonde looked stressed as she talked on her iPhone 4, while her companion DiCaprio chatted to the driver.


Wearing a blue vest, the actress held her head in her hand as she listened anxiously to the person as the other end of the phone.


Lively was photographed in Venice on Wednesday - the same day she issued a stern denial the photos in question were of her.


Pictures surfaced online this week purportedly showing the actress posing naked in a series of self-portraits.

Cruising the Mediterranean, The new couple have been seen in Cannes, Monaco, Portofino and now Venice

Some observers noted that the photographs show an iPhone similar to the one the actress has been seen carrying around on the set of her hit TV show.


However, Lively branded the grainy photos ’100 per cent fake’.


A spokesperson for the star told America’s People magazine: ’Blake has never taken nude photos of herself.


’Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner.’

Social gathering, Leonardo later joined billionaire Vladimir Doronin and his supermodel girlfriend Naomi Campbell onboard a luxury yacht in Capri

Regardless of whether or not the photos are of the actress, there’s no doubt it’s caused some distress to her.


Understandably, she would have found the issue quite distractng when she’s supposed to be relaxing with her rumoured new man DiCaprio, 36.


Over the past few weeks, the pair have been seen in Cannes, Monaco and Portofino - prompting speculation they are cruising the Mediterranean together.

They were spotted dining at Saint Paul de Vence in the south of France last Friday, before taking a Mercedes back to a yacht docked in Cannes.


On Sunday, they were spotted hanging out with retail tycoon Sir Philip Green on his £32million Benetti superyacht Lionheart on the French Riviera.


Lively and DiCaprio’s apparent romance comes after it emerged he had split from Israeli model Bar Refaeli after a five year on/off relationship.

Mischa Barton shows off her slim figure in hot pink bikini while on holiday in Hawaii

Her weight has been known to fluctuate over the past few years.

But now it seems Mischa Barton is back to a healthy weight as she showed off her slim figure in Hawaii last week.

Wearing a patterned hot pink bikini and bright necklace, the 25-year-old star of The OC relaxed on the beach and took a dip in the ocean.

In shape, Actress Mischa Barton shows off her slim figure in a pink patterned bikini while on holiday in Hawaii

The actress is holidaying on the Pacific islands with a female friend - at one point she lazed in the sun while her companion read a book.

Barton’s weight has long been under media scrutiny - back in 2009, she slumped from a healthy UK size 12 (U.S. 8) to a size 6 to 8 in only six months.

Months later she displayed a considerably bloated face and fuller figure after undergoing a painful wisdom teeth extraction.

Following the operation shewas put under a psychiatric 5150 ’hold’ - the U.S. equivalent of sectioning under the Mental Health Act - over what she claimed was a tooth infection that spiralled out of control.

However, the actress has faced more troubles since then. Last month she was reported to havebeen ordered to pay a private nursing company more than $95,000 for services rendered in 2009.

The website reports that the 25-year-old ran up a bill with Doctor’s Choice Nursing for $89,930.57, but the money was never paid.

It is not clear why the actress required the company’s services.

However, a representative for the actress told TMZ: ’This is the first we’ve heard of it.’

Chilled: Mischa Barton said recently that she is happy to stay out of the limelight and is at a restful place in her life

Barton hasn’t done anything of particular note in her career since starring in The O.C. as Marissa Cooper from 2003 until 2006.

However, she recently claimed she is happy to stay out of the limelight and still has some soul searching to do.

She said: ’TV is not something I’m looking at right now for a second, just because I’m really at a restful place in my life. I’m really just taking my downtime.

’I’ve seen a lot of other girls who just kept going and kind of spazzed out and I’m just really grateful to be settled right now and not working and not doing anything but working on myself.

The OC star, Mischa Barton, is keen to shake off her wild-child image. ’I wish I could have been perfect,’ she said

Smiling: Mischa Barton looked happy and relaxed in the ocean, at one point grinning to herself

’I just feel really blessed with a convergence of really good things going on right now, so I’m not in a rush to do a project.’

Barton has also said she has struggled to shake off her undeserved wild-child image.

‘Part of me wishes those things had never happened in the public eye. I wish I could have been perfect,’ she said.

‘For ages after that 5150 I’d walk down the street and people would give me the crazy eye: “There’s Mischa Barton, she’s insane, isn’t she?”’

Wet and wild, Mischa Barton wore no make up and seemed happy with her natural look

Despite the unwanted press attention, Barton is grateful to The O.C and is glad that the show exposed her to fame.

’I think it’s funny and great that all these people do know me from it and kind of had to see me grow up and did see me grow up and go through all that s***,’ she said.

’Now I think people will come around to who you are as an actor and a being and get on your side, so I’m glad that that show - in a way - exposed me.

’It definitely established me as an actor and I think you can only embrace that.’

Salma married Pinault in a Valentine’s Day ceremony in Paris in 2009 and they had a second, even more lavish wedding ceremony two months later in Venice.

It followed a rollercoaster romance, which saw the pair break off their engagement in in July 2008 - 10 months after Salma gave birth to Valentina in Los Angeles.

However, the couple are clearly back on track and enjoying their romantic festive sunshine break, where Salma has faced an unrelenting schedule of sun, sea, sand and five star luxury.

On Saturday before her nuptials, she was spotted swapping out of one of her bikinis with the a little help from an assistant.

She took off a blue striped strapless top and swapped it for a leopard skin bikini which showed off her ample bosom.

Heidi accessorised it with a gold necklace that had five circles - maybe to represent her husband and four children.

Crazy singer Seal was more covered and wore a patterned shirt while he tended to baby Lou.

He wore an identical necklace around his neck - matching his wife’s sparkling jewellery.

Family time, Heidi Klum on the beach by her husband and their children

The couple have made it a tradition to renew their vows every year after tying the knot on May 10 2005 at Seal’s beach front home in Mexico.

Just like in previous years, the pair turned the occasion into a fancy dress affair, this time opting for a masquerade theme for the ceremony which was attended by 100 friends and family.

The Project Runway star opted for a dramatic strapless dress which featured a hoopskirt covered in tulle and a silver mask with feathered detailing.

She had clearly decided to go for theatrics over comfort and at one point, she was spotted hitching up the skirt to reveal pull-up stockings and her underwear while she walked around the grounds.

Happy family, The couple renewed their vows in the presence of their four children at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida

The couple had initially planned to celebrate their anniversary in Mexico where they first married, but they changed their plan due to the drug violence.

Heidi is said to have contacted Trump a week ago and asked to borrow his twenty-acre property.

’He was happy to put out the welcome mat for them even though he had another commitment that kept him from attending,’ a source told Radar Online.

Last year, every guest had to dress in black-and-white attire while in in 2009, Seal was spotted rocking a mullet and the bride wearing her hair in braids just like 70s star Bo Derek.
